| Produced By
Awhitu |
| Tasting Notes |
|
The nose suggests lifted aromas of dark berry fruits, leather and peppery spice, while the palate reflects integrated tannins and full bodied layers of spice. The wine has been minimally filtered to retain its character and may leave a small sediment. |
| Winemakers Notes |
|
This 100% Syrah wine is made in a Rhone style using classic French winemaking techniques and matured in 50% new and seasoned barriques for 14 months. |
| Viticulture Notes |
|
2005 was a stunning summer. Very ripe fruit came off our 10 year old vines. The terroir is that of warm, free draining soil and low rainfall. |
| Cellaring |
|
Great now but rewards cellaring of 2-6 years |

| TiZwine Accolades |
 |
| Elegant yet steely aromas lead to spicy, ripe plum flavours that marry well with quite soft tannins. An elegant style of Syrah and will give much pleasure. |
